Children Services
At Nafs Healing Collective, we understand the unique journeys of our young people. This space is dedicated to providing culturally sensitive support and empowering resources for children and adolescents on Chicago's South and West sides. We're here to foster their emotional well-being, build resilience, and cultivate a foundation for a healthy future.
Creative Arts & Expression
We use painting, music, storytelling, and hands-on activities to help kids explore big feelings and discover their inner voice in fun and healthy ways.
Movement & Mindful Play
Through games, yoga, and dance, children learn how to move their bodies with joy and calm their minds with care—while still having a blast.
One-on-One Counseling
Our kid-friendly counselors work with children and families to provide support around tough stuff—whether it’s stress, grief, identity, or big changes at home or school.
Feelings & Friendship Circles
In small group settings, kids practice how to talk about their feelings, build friendships, and learn tools for managing emotions and solving conflicts.
Family & Community Fun Days
We host special events where kids and families come together to play, create, and connect—because healing is stronger when we do it as a community.
Outdoor Healing & Nature Time
From garden days to nature walks, we invite kids to ground themselves, breathe fresh air, and learn how being outside can help us feel better inside.
